Article Description

About the Republic of Texas in this essay a study is made on the legal theoretical framework of the succession and creation of new States, both in the international law of the 19th century and in the international law of our time. In the 19th century, secession was fundamentally a matter of fact. And the definitive guarantee was the approval of the international community, mainly of the great powers. In time present it is impossible to admit secession or annexation when a third State intervenes or when this intervention is carried out through military force. For the secession and annexation of States to be valid, it must be in compliance with international legality, which highlights the acceptance of the predecessor State, compliance with the principle of territorial integrity, except in cases where that State violates the rights of an oppressed population, and the full guarantee of human rights and humanitarian law is also claimed.
